Why Choose the IMO BR6C1016A Miniature Circuit Breaker?

The IMO BR6C1016A is a reliable 16 A miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect electrical installations against overloads and short circuits. As part of the IMO BR6 range, it provides dependable protection for industrial control panels, commercial distribution boards and OEM electrical equipment while complying with IEC 60898-1.

This single pole MCB features a C curve tripping characteristic, making it suitable for circuits with moderate inrush currents such as lighting, small motors, transformers and control equipment. Its 6 kA breaking capacity delivers reliable protection in low-voltage installations.

Designed for DIN rail mounting, the BR6C1016A offers compact installation, finger-safe terminals and compatibility with pin and fork type busbars. Its durable construction and proven IMO reliability make it an excellent choice for demanding industrial and commercial applications.

Key Advantages

  • Reliable 16 A miniature circuit breaker for industrial and commercial applications.
  • Single pole configuration for phase protection.
  • C curve characteristic suitable for moderate inrush currents.
  • 6 kA short-circuit breaking capacity.
  • DIN rail mounting for quick installation.
  • Manufactured in accordance with IEC 60898-1.

Key Features

  • IMO BR6 miniature circuit breaker.
  • 16 A rated current.
  • Single pole configuration.
  • C curve tripping characteristic.
  • 6 kA breaking capacity.
  • Contact position indication window.
  • Central trip indication.
